"Let's hope one day you'll be able to understand how ridiculous this pressure is on you, the pressure put on you.
And then things will be clearer in regards to friends and family and the right career to choose, the right career for you."
Damn Koufax, all stuck in my head and stuff.
8 days, 9 hours, 39 minutes, and 14 seconds left till AWA8.
I can't believe it's a little over a week away. Time's flying faster than I thought it would.
Which reminds me... I put in my request form for the days I need off for AWA. I just can't wait to see what will come of this. When I get the schedule next week, I'll probably burst into laughter in the middle of the store if it says I'm scheduled for next weekend. Because I really don't care what they try to do to stop me, I'm going whether I have a job when I come back or not. Things should be interesting if they schedule me and instead of arguing, I just don't show up. That will have a big impact because I'm one of two people that do what I do, and they need both of us for weekends. What will they do when no one will push carts, stock shelves, do cleanup, bag, check the back room, break down the freight and do customer service? Suffer, that's what.
Like I said, I don't care. I only got this job to pay for the trip to AWA, and with 1000 bucks spent and gone in preparation, nothing will stop me. NOTHING. -
It goes thump thump thump thump SPLAT!

I'm in a kind of odd mood today. When my mind wanders about as I do my homework, I'll get to a subject in my head that I don't like and get angry, then shrug it off and go on to one that makes me happy, then go to one that saddens me. Damn my brain! Damn it to hell! I also keep coming back to AWA, and the concerns I have about it. This whole concept is a very alien one to me. Which reminds me: 10 days, 13 hours, 51 minutes, and 2 seconds till AWA8!!
I'm already screwed in my computer science class, which was SUPPOSED to be of no concern, considering my experience in computers. But it's kind of lame when I've only been in the class one time since school started, and in that time I never found out where my homework was located in the book. So I haven't done 2 weeks of CIS homework and I've only been in class one time. My grade's already screwed. Not only that, but I have to have Microsoft XP Word Professional or something like that and I don't, so I couldn't do the homework if I wanted to, unless I spent 200 dollars that I have reserved for AWA for a student copy of the program.
SO MUCH STRESS! *head explodes* -

Good song up there. Cowboy Mouth - Love of My Life
I'm surprisingly happy today! I swear, this male PMS thing is insane.
11 days, 14 hours, 52 minutes, and 41 seconds left until AWA8!!
WOO! I saw Carl today! He's like my only link to what little social life I have left. He's the guy I was with when I first got drunk, the guy I spent graduation with driving around all over the place, the guy that had a giant 18th birthday party with a DJ and a hundred guests, the only friend I have who has sex. It's good to just see him every once in a while.
Of course, all we did was go to the grocery store, get his girlfriend some flowers, take them to her, and then I went home because I had to study... It might've been another good, fun night, but alas, this fucking homework steals my social life away again.
I enjoy my actual college classes alot (except for Freshman Composition, blah), but this homework is the pits. I really like sitting back and relaxing in class, just listening and observing conversations the teachers have with the students. Economics is a great example of this because the teacher's whole lesson plan for the day is discussion. We don't actually do work. Nay, that's what homework is for. Anyway, I learn best when I can relax instead of taking notes. I'm only half-assedly listening when I have to write it down.
Ah well, back to homework. -
Argh.

Man, lots of stress... I put one large problem to the wayside in the hopes of focusing on some other issues at hand, one big'n being this damn college homework. I'm gonna have to not only be CAUGHT UP, but actually be AHEAD of where I'm supposed to be so that I'm ready for class when I come back from AWA. Around Wednesday or Thursday I'll have to inform my boss that I need 4 days off, which is asking a helluva lot considering I'm one of two baggers at the grocery store... And they always need both of us during weekends. I'm fully expecting the boss to tell me I can't have off, so that I can say "You think that the job I got solely for the purpose of this trip is going to stop me from going!? HA! BWAHA! HAHAHAHAHAHA!" right to her face. So I may not have a job after AWA. Oh well.
The more I think about it, the more it feels like AWA isn't going to be as much fun as I hoped. I sure hope it's worth it. And I sure hope that some shit that came up a little while ago doesn't affect it any, but I doubt it will.
Woah... I just got an idea of what I'll feel like the day I leave for Georgia. Holy crap. It'll be like how I feel when I leave for an amusement park during summer, except 10-fold. OOoooh... The excitement that day may be more fun that I have during the whole convention. -
This is what happens...

When I got to work today someone attacked me in the parking lot with cologne! This is what happens when you smell bad enough to attract cologne salespeople within a 2 mile radius.
One smelled kind of nice. If I wasn't saving up for AWA, I would have bought one. :) I've never bought cologne before.
So yep. That was like the event of the week for me, a salesperson offering cologne. Back to this bowl of chili.
